Armadillo Speaks to Us

Natural Law from "All Our Relations"

Outside of "Religion" Sits a Law of Nature that is taught to us from "All Our Relations", those living beings who share our planet earth with the WE (US Humans).

It is a Law that is undeniable as we learn from each individual life form through the Living Library of Life. When we treat each and every living being as Sacred, we are able to Walk in a Good Way in Balance and in Peace.

In Natural Law, the word Medicine may be akin to anything that we RECEIVE by way of our 5 senses. Our Inner-Knowing being our 6th sense. When we open our hearts to observation and witness, we are able to remind our inner-knowing that we are awakening to our Personal Awareness. All Living Beings teach us by way of their Personal Medicine.

Beloved seeker on the Sacred Path of Awakening,

Let us turn our hearts and awareness toward the gentle yet powerful wisdom offered by Armadillo Medicine, for it holds profound lessons on the spiritual InnerStanding required to align ourselves with the Beauty of Natural Law. Armadillo medicine is deeply concerned with the establishment and maintenance of personal boundaries, self-awareness, and protection.

Awakening into the Beauty of Natural Balance

The highest teaching of the Armadillo is the principle of Balance. The goal of this spiritual defense is not isolation, but wholeness. The wisdom encompasses knowing when to protect oneself and, equally crucial, when to lower defenses and enter into the circle of the Whole, just as the armadillo rounds itself into the tight Ball, it forms a circle. This is the Balance.

The beauty of this Natural Law lies in the recognition that boundaries are a tool to enable, rather than restrict, connection. While the armor protects the vulnerable underside, we must remember that vulnerability is essential for experiencing true connection and joy. By mastering this balance, we ensure that the boundaries fostered through protection and discernment lead us toward greater growth and prevent us from becoming isolated.

The Armadillo's wisdom teaches us that to awaken fully, we must maintain the integrity of our inner temple (protection) while bravely opening our hearts (vulnerability) when connection calls.

The Spiritual Art of Conscious Protection

The initial teaching of the Armadillo is a compassionate reminder of the necessity of sacred self-preservation. The essence of its instruction lies in the Symbolism of Defense. We are shown how the armadillo, when threatened, rolls into a ball, using its hard, bony armor to shield its vulnerable underside.

Spiritually, this act translates to the conscious creation of a protective "medicine shield". This shield is not erected out of fear, but out of loving discernment, serving to guard our precious inner space against forces that do not belong to us, such as negative energies, harmful words, or unwanted intrusions. This physical posture illuminates the necessary firmness required to define one’s space on this sacred journey.

InnerStanding: Boundaries as Self-Love and Empowerment

A pivotal lesson on the Path of Awakening is the understanding that boundary setting is a profound act of self-love, not selfishness. Armadillo medicine teaches us that embracing the armor is a pathway to empowerment. This is especially crucial for those of compassionate spirit who may have found themselves "overly accommodating to others" or "treating themselves like a 'doormat'".

Through this sacred practice of defining limits, we are empowered to make space for our own divine resources. Setting boundaries allows us to reclaim our energy and joy, which are vital fuels for the soul’s journey. Furthermore, this self-affirmation responsibly fosters growth in both oneself and others.

The Discernment of the Heart

To truly walk in harmony with Natural Law, we must cultivate discernment. Self-awareness is the light that guides this process. Armadillo medicine provides the key insight that discernment means "knowing what is yours and what belongs to others". This InnerStanding allows us to apply protection consciously. When we recognize the source of an energy or burden, we understand whether we need to raise our defensive shield or whether we are being asked to carry what is not ours.
